Final Forms Student Online Registration
We are very excited to announce that the Tacoma Public Schools Athletic Department has partnered with Final Forms, an online forms and data management service. Final Forms allows you to complete and sign athletic participation forms for your students. The most exciting news is that Final Forms saves data from season-to-season and year-to-year, meaning that you will never need to enter the same information twice! Final Forms also pre-populates information wherever possible, for each of your students, saving you time. You may review your data at any time to verify it is current. You will be required to sign your forms once per year and after any update.
This is the registration process for ALL ATHLETES, regardless of Running Start, Homeschool, Private School or Alternative School enrollment. However, you will need to complete the relevant Running Start, Homeschool/Private School/Alternative forms within Final Forms online registration.
SAMI/SOTA/IDEA Students, you need to contact the Silas Athletic Director prior to online registration. This does not roll over in the Final Forms system and must be done annually.
In order to register you must confirm your account using the link provided in the Final Forms email. If you did not receive an email from Final Forms or the link has expired, please contact the Silas Athletic's Department at SilasAthletics@tacoma.k12.wa.us

Final Forms Troubleshooting
Silas Athletics receives emails from students and parents needing help with various issues related to logging into their Final Forms accounts. Unfortunately, we do not have a list of usernames and passwords or a way to reset passwords. However, here is a list of what may be causing issues and possible resolutions:
- TPS (eSP) & Final Forms are not communicating.
- Tacoma Public School students must use their school email for Final Forms. If you (student) have changed your HAC contact email to a personal address (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.), you need to change it back to your assigned school email address.
- The student has never logged into Final Forms.
- The student will need to confirm their account. Students need to login to their Office 365 account (same username and password needed to login to a school computer). Once confirmed, athletes should go to Outlook email where they will find their Final Forms Account confirmation link. If they cannot find the email, the Athletic Director can resend a link to confirm their account.
- Parent has never logged into Final Forms.
- They need to confirm their account. Parents should search their email for a Final Forms confirmation email. If parents cannot locate their confirmation email, they will need to contact the building Athletic Director to confirm the email address Tacoma Public Schools has is correct. We can then resend a confirmation email.
- Parent or athlete have logged in but forgot their password.
- Please use the “Forgot your Password” feature on the Final Forms login page.
If the parent does not have a valid email in eSchoolPlus (HAC) there will not be an account for the student. Parents need to update their email with the school’s Registrar and the Athletic Director.
Homeschooled, Private School, Alternative Education students will need to have an account created for them. Please contact the Athletic Department at SilasAthletics@tacoma.k12.wa.us

Once a Ram, Always a Ram!
March 28, 2024
Dear Silas Staff Members,
We’re heading to the home stretch before Spring Break starts next week. Most Spring Sports will not have any competition during Spring Break. With that said, there are three teams that will competition (Girls Tennis, Baseball, and Boys Soccer).
Here’s what’s happening in Silas Athletics:
Editor’s Note: There will not be a This Week in Silas Sports next week during Spring Break.
Baseball:
Baseball had two games scheduled this past week. Last Friday’s game (3/22/24) at Capital got rained out and will be re-scheduled. On Tuesday (3/26/24) they hosted the Lakes Lancers here at Silas Baseball Field. Silas beat the Lancers 3 to 0. Yesterday, in their game played at Lincoln High School, our Rams, once again, beat the Lakes Lancers 10 to 2.
In the coming week and a half, the Varsity Rams (3-3) have four games scheduled (please see schedule below). The game to mark on your calendar is on Friday, April 5th when the Thomas Jefferson Raiders host our Rams at Cheney Stadium! It is a fantastic opportunity for our baseball players to experience a professional baseball setting. It should be a lot of fun.

Both teams are very strong and have a great opportunity to do well in the District Tournament and qualify as a team or as individuals for the WIAA State Golf Championships.
Soccer – Boys:
The Varsity Boys played two matches this past week and had a match cancelled. On Thursday (3/21/24) our Rams hosted the Lakes Lancers here at Silas High School. Our Rams beat the Lancers 7 to 1. On Saturday (3/23/24), our Rams were to play the Emerald Ridge Jaguars at Emerald Ridge High School. Unfortunately, the match had to be cancelled due to a lack of officials to officiate the game. The shortage of officials in Washington High School sports is real and something we will see more of in the future.
On Tuesday, our Rams hosted the extremely strong Spanaway Lake Sentinels, led by their nationally recognized goalkeeper Giovannie Garcia. Our Rams won this hard fought match 1 to 0. Despite controlling the ball in the Spanaway Lake zone for most of the game, the Rams could only notch one goal. Garcia had a handful of spectacular stops to thwart the Rams.
This coming week, our Rams Varsity (3-2-0) and JV (2-2-1) teams each have three games. Tonight, our Rams travel to Lincoln Bowl to take on the Abes. On Monday (4/1/24), our Rams host the Mount Tahoma T-Birds here at Silas High School. On Wednesday,(4/3/24) our Rams travel to Bonney lake to take on the Panthers.

The soccer season for Unified Soccer is coming later this Spring. More to come as we learn more about the upcoming schedule.
Tennis – Girls:
Our Girls are on a roll, winning two matches this past week. On Wednesday (3/20/24) our Rams beat the Lakes Lancers 4 to 1. On Tuesday (3/26/24), our Rams took on the undefeated Lincoln Abes here at Silas High School. The Abes are undefeated no more. The Rams won the match 4 to 1.
In the match against Lincoln, the Rams were led by their Singles #1 Valentina Cosioi Artieda and #2 Kath Shouse who between the two of them only lost one game. Outstanding! Our #1 Doubles team of Sammy caron and Aivy Nguyen and our #2 team of Gabby Staley and Ava Epperson each won their matches in straight sets. Fantastic!

Once a Ram, Always a Ram!
March 20, 2024
Dear Silas Staff Members,
Spring Sports is in full swing with many teams having two, three, and even four games/matches this past week. Here’s what’s happening:
Baseball:
Baseball has had a very busy week with three games played. Last Wednesday (3/13/24), our Rams played the Stadium Tigers here at Silas High School. After nine (9) innings, the game was halted with a 3 to 3 score due to lack of daylight. The game was completed on Saturday (3/16/24) with Stadium winning 6 to 5.
On Friday (3/15/24) the Rams hosted the Enumclaw Hornets. Silas lost to the Hornets 7 to 0. Yesterday, our Diamond Rams played the Highline Pirates in Burien. They beat the Pirates 15 to 4 to capture their first win of the season.
Don’t be fooled by the 1 – 3 start for the varsity. Of their three defeats, two were by one run. A play here and there and our Rams could easily be 3 – 1.
In the coming week, the Varsity Rams have two games. They will play the Capital Cougars this coming Friday (3/22/24) at Waits Field in Olympia. On Tuesday (3/26/24) and will host the Lakes Lancers here at Silas Baseball Field. First pitch for both games is 4:00 PM.
The JV Team kicked off their season last Wednesday (3/13/24) against the Stadium Tigers at Vassault Park. The Tigers prevailed 9 to 1.Yesterday, our JV Diamond Rams played the Highline Pirates in Burien. They beat Highline in convincing fashion 18 to 0. .
Next week, the JV Rams (1-1) will play at Capital High School (JV Baseball Field) this Friday (3/22/24) and will travel to Lakewood to take on the Lakes Lancers at Lakes High School next Tuesday (3/26/24).
Fastpitch Softball:
Our Rams also had a busy week with four games played. Last Thursday (3/14/2024), our Rams traveled to Spanaway to take on the Bethel Bison. They lost to the Bison 1 to 0. On Friday (3/15/24) the Rams hosted the River Ridge Hawks here at Silas Softball Field. The Hawks won the game 15 to 0.
On Saturday (3/16/24), our Rams traveled to Kelso to take on the Kelso Hilanders. Our Rams took it on the chin losing to the Hilanders 12 to 0. Yesterday, our Rams hosted the Stadium Tigers at the Silas Softball Field. They lost to the Tigers in a high scoring affair 26 to 11.
This week, our Silas Ram (0 – 4) softballers have another busy week with three games. On Friday (3/22/24) they host the North Thurston Rams. On Monday (3/25/24) the Rams host the Spanaway Lake Sentinels. On Tuesday (3/26/24), they travel to Lakewood to take on the Lakes Lancers.
The JV team played three games this past week, going 1 – 2. Last Friday (3/15/24) the River Ridge Hawks defeated our Rams 13 to 1 in their game played here at Silas. On Saturday (3/16/24) they traveled to Kelso to take on the Hilanders. They lost to the Hilanders 15 to 2. Yesterday, they played the Stadium Tiger here at Silas Softball Field. They captured the victory, beating the Tigers 8 to 6.
The JV team also plays three games this coming week. They host the North Thurston Rams this Friday (3/22/24) and host the Spanaway Lake Sentinels on Monday (2-25-24). On Tuesday (3/26/24) they travel to Lakewood to take on the Lakes Lancers.

You may recall that the both the Boys and Girls Golf Teams had a fantastic season in the Fall with the Girls winning the Pierce County League Championship with the Boys finishing 2nd. You also might recall Golf has split seasons with league competition in the Fall and post-season play in the Spring.
Both teams have qualified for the West Central District Golf Championships. The Girls 3A WCD District Golf Championships will be played on May 13th and 14th at Auburn Golf Course. The Boys 3A WCD District Golf Championships will be played on May 15th and 16th also at Auburn Golf Course.

The Varsity Boys had one match this past week. On Friday (3/15/24) our Rams hosted the Stadium Tigers here at Silas High School. Our Rams knocked off our cross town rivals 2 to 1 to notch their first victory of the season.
This coming week, our Rams (1-2-0) have three games. Tomorrow (3/21/24) our Rams host the Lakes Lancers here at Silas High School, kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 PM. On Saturday afternoon (3/23/24), our Rams take on the Emerald Ridge Jaguars at Emerald Ridge High School with a 1:30 PM kickoff. Next Tuesday (3/26/24), our Rams return home to host the Spanaway Lake Sentinels with a 7:00 PM kickoff.
The Boys JV team also took on the Stadium Tigers last Friday (3/15/24). The Tigers prevailed 2 to 1.

Soccer – Unified:
The soccer season for Unified Soccer is coming later this Spring. The schedule has not been built yet but it is coming. Please stay tuned.
Tennis – Girls:
Last Thursday (3/14/24) our Rams took on the Stadium Tigers at the Stadium High School Tennis Courts. Our Rams dominated the perennial powerhouse Tigers 4 to 1. Winning their matches were Valentina Cosioi and Kate Shouse in their singles matches. The Rams won both of the doubles matches. Sammy Caron and Aivy Nguyen won the #1 Doubles Match and Gabby Staley and Ava Epperson won the #2 Doubles Match. Gabby and Ava lost the first set in their match but came back with a vengeance dominating the next two sets 6-1 and 6-2.
On Monday (3/18/24) our Rams took on the Annie Wright Gators at the Galbraith Tennis Center. Our Rams sweep the Gators 5 – 0. Leading Silas were our two singles players #1 Valentina Cosioi and #2 Kate Shouse. Each player did not give up a game in their respective matches; winning 6-0, 6-0.
All three of our doubles teams won their respective matches; #1 Team Valentina Cosioi and Kate Shouse, #2 Team Gabby Staley and Ava Epperson, and #3 Team Claire Mock and Kyrah Nguyen.
Our Rams are off to a fast start to their season with a 2 – 0 record in match play. Later today, they host the Lakes Lancers on the Silas Tennis Courts.

Once a Ram, Always a Ram!
March 13, 2024
Dear Silas Staff Members,
Spring Sports competition is now underway, with many sports beginning their competition this week. Also the Tacoma Athletic Commission held their Athlete of the Year for Winter Sports ceremony on Monday (3/11/24).
Tacoma Athletic Commission Winter Sports Athletes of the Year
Silas High School was well represented at the 2023-2024 Winter Sports Athlete of the Year hosted by the Tacoma Athletic Commission. Silas had eight student-athletes represented. Here are the nominees from Silas High School:
Basketball – Boys: Tyson Parker
Basketball – Girls: Annique Smith
Bowling: Keira Frazier
Competitive Cheer: Stevie Lazama
Flag Football: Ahnalyse Glenn-Leufroy
Swimming – Boys: Xander Dumas
Wrestling – Boys: Emanuel Cater
Wrestling – Girls: Tru Willis (unable to attend)
36 schools submitted nominees to this event. The competition is very strong. Silas had a number of athletes in strong consideration.
A couple of interesting facts:
· Pierce County Schools won 22 State Championships in Wrestling (Tru Willis from Silas being one of them).
· It was a bit of a down year for Basketball in Pierce County. Only two teams placed at State. In 1A Boys Annie Wright finished 2nd and in 4A Girls Sumner finished 5th.
Baseball:
Varsity Baseball kicked off their season yesterday against the Stadium Tigers at Hunt Middle School. Our Rams lost in a highly competitive game 4 to 3. Silas (0-1) host these same Stadium Tigers here at Silas Baseball Field at 4:00 PM.
The JV Team kicks off their season later today when they play the Stadium Tigers at Vassault Park.
Fastpitch Softball:
Yesterday’s games (both Varsity and JV) against Bethel got postponed due to rain. Both games have been rescheduled to tomorrow (3/14/24) at 4:00 PM. The Varsity game is at Bethel and the JV game is here at Silas Softball Field.
Soccer – Boys:
The Boys are off and running with two games already played and a third game later this week on Friday. The schedule starts out against some of the best competition the State of Washington has.
On Monday (3/11/24) our Rams lost to last year’s 4A State 2nd Place finisher the Puyallup Vikings (also 2019 4A State Champions) 3 to 2. Silas controlled much of this match but gave up two goals late in the match to get edged out.
On Tuesday, our Rams traveled to Mercer Island to take on the Islanders. Mercer Island is perennial powerhouse in 3A Boys Soccer (2022 3A State Champs). Our Rams went toe to toe with them but lost 1 to Nil in a closely defended contest.
Our Rams (0-2) will host the Stadium Tigers here at Silas High School this Friday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 PM.
The Boys JV team also has two games in the books. On Monday, they lost 2 to 1 against the Puyallup Vikings. Yesterday, they tied their match against Mercer Island 0-0. On Friday, JV (0-1-1) will play the Stadium Tigers here at Silas High School. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:00 PM.
Tennis – Girls:
The regular season for Girls Tennis kicks off tomorrow (3/14/24) when our Rams travel to Stadium to take on the Tigers at 3:30 PM. For a unique setting, the tennis courts at Stadium are on top of their parking garage.
Track and Field:
The Track and Field season kicks off this Saturday (3/16/24) with the Tacoma Jamboree at Mount Tahoma Stadium. The Jamboree starts at 11:00 AM. The regular season begins with a meet against Mount Tahoma, next Wednesday (3/20/24) also at Mount Tahoma Stadium. The meet starts at 3:30 PM.
Water Polo – Girls:
The Girls Water Polo regular season begins this afternoon here at Sila’s Dick Hannula Pool with a match against the Emerald Ridge Jaguars. Match time is 5:30 PM.

Dear Silas Staff Members,
Editor’s Note: This Week in Silas Athletics is coming out a day earlier than normal. Mr. Beck and I will be at the Tacoma Dome for the WIAA Gesa Credit Union Hardwood Classic starting tomorrow (2/28/24) through Saturday (3/2/24).
A light week for Silas Athletics. The Spring Sports season started yesterday (2/26/24). Baseball and Girls Tennis will kick off the first competition for Spring sports season on Saturday March 9th.
With the wrap-up of Winter Sports, post-season awards are now being released. The Pierce County League recently release their All-League teams for both Boy’s and Girl’s Basketball. Highlighted by Annique Smith’s selection as a member of the First Team All-PCL and Tyson Parker’s section on the Second Team All-PCL . Honorees from Silas include:

All-League selections are made for some sports but not all sports. The sports that identify All-League selections are done at the league level. Some leagues do more sports, some less. We anticipate more sports with All-League recognition moving forward in the new Puget Sound League, which launches this Fall.

Dear Silas Staff Members,
Welcome to the Valentine’s Day edition of This Week in Silas Athletics. Another busy week in Silas Athletics.
A few things have taken place recently. Silas joined a new league . Proposition 1 passed, meaning turf baseball and softball fields here at Silas. We have students in three State Championship events including Boys Swimming, Girls, Wrestling, and Boys Wrestling.
New League:
Your Silas Rams are now a member of the new Puget Sound League!
You may recall the WIAA reallocates schools based on student population every four years. The reallocation process for the next four years was just completed by the WIAA. The current 3A Pierce County League will lose three members next year, reallocated to the 4A classification (Stadium, Spanaway Lake, and Bonney Lake). This forced the need to create a new league with other 3A schools in the area. Hence the birth of the Puget Sound League. The league was finalized yesterday.
The league is comprised of 12 teams, split into two divisions. The league will commence league play starting with the 2024-2025 Fall sports season. Here are the member schools by Division:
|
Narrows Division |
|
Nisqually Division |
|
Bellarmine Prep Lions |
|
Capital Cougars |
|
Central Kitsap Cougars |
|
Lakes Lancers |
|
Gig Harbor Tides |
|
North Thurston Rams |
|
Lincoln Abes |
|
Peninsula Seahawks |
|
Mount Tahoma T-Birds |
|
River Ridge Hawks |
|
Silas Rams |
|
Timberline Blazers |
Here is what this means for Silas High School:
- Travel time to any of the league member schools with be an hour or less.
- For those sports with home/away league schedules (Basketball, Volleyball, Baseball, Softball, Soccer, and Tennis) Silas will play each team in their Division (Narrows Division) twice and every team in the Nisqually League once. A total of 16 league games.
- Most sports will have a centralized post-season League Tournament.
- For those sports that play more than 16 games, we will use non-league games to maintain local rivalries, for example with Stadium. For those sports that play 16 or fewer games, the ability to schedule non-league games will not be available.
- We except to see more JV and C-Team opportunities. Most schools in the Puget Sound League have both JV and C-Teams to enable the creation of full schedules.
Other Facts:
- Admission prices have not been developed yet. We are working hard on keeping these as close to the current price structure as possible.
- League Logo and Sportsmanship/Purpose Statements are in the development stage. We will be seeking student input.
- League Leadership:
- PSL President: Steve Taylor - Capital High School
- PSL Vice-President: Johnny Lee- Silas High School
- PSL Secretary/Treasurer/Scheduler: Justin Burns - Central Kitsap High School
- Narrows Division Representative: Blair Suek - Gig Harbor High School
- Nisqually Division Representative: Jaime Gore - River Ridge High School
We are excited about the potential of this new league. In the exploration process of where to land, Silas High School had opportunities to join other leagues, but those options created barriers/logistical issues with things like travel and rivalries. With the creation of the PSL, we believe the PSL will provide a richer experience with greater opportunities for competition for our student/athletes.
Proposition 1 – School Bond
The Tacoma School District Bond Measure was held yesterday. 28,135 ballots were cast, with 18,905 votes casted to approve the bond (67.28%). 9,196 voted to reject the bond (32.72%). Proposition 1 passed.
For Silas High School and Silas High School Athletics, the passing of the bond specifically means:
· Upgrade the baseball and softball fields to turf
· Upgrade interior and exterior lighting
Here’s our team hard at work in support of the school bond:
Basketball – Boys:
Season Concluded
Basketball – Girls:
Our Silas Girls Basketball team lost an absolute heartbreaker last Wednesday night (2/7/24) to the Bainbridge Spartans 46 to 44 in their game played at Mount Tahoma. This game was the “pigtail” game (think of it as a play in game) of the District ¾ 3A Girls Basketball Tournament.
On paper, this was going to be a tough matchup for our Rams. The Spartans were listed as the #12 team in the state in the WIAA RPI rankings. They came into last Wednesday’s game with a 14-4 record. But, as they say, they don’t play the games on paper. Our Rams were in it the entire way and gave the Spartans all they could handle and then some.
Our Rams finished their successful season with and overall record of 11 wins and 11 losses. With only one senior on this year’s team, the future is very bright for Silas Girls Basketball!
Basketball – Unified:
Last Saturday (2/10/24) Unified Basketball played in the District 3 Unified District Championships at Stadium High School. They went 3-1 in the tournament, placing 3rd in Districts!
In their first game, our Rams lost a tough one to the Enumclaw Hornets 44 to 40. Enumclaw featured a 6’8” player who proved to be difficult to defend. This bounced them into the consolation bracket, the hardest possible path to a 3rd place finish.
In their 2nd game (loser out) they beat Mount Tahoma 25 to 13. In their third game, Unified Basketball knocked off the Stadium Tigers 38 to 21, also a loser out game. They captured third place with an exciting 39 to 38 victory against the Emerald Ridge Jaguars
Overall, Unified Basketball finished their season with an excellent record of 6 wins and 2 losses. Great job Rams!
Unified Basketball is working on scheduling one last game of the year (a Pack the Gym Unified Event) in the next couple of weeks against the Stadium Tigers. More details to come as we get them.
Bowling:
Season concluded
Cheer:
Season concluded
Flag Football:
Flag Football wrapped up their season last Thursday (2/1/24) when our Rams beat the North Kitsap Vikings 27 to 24 at Stadium Bowl. Flag Football finished with a strong 7-5 season.
Swimming – Boys:
It’s been all quiet at the Western Front when it comes to Boy’s Swimming. No meets this past week as we approach the WIAA Swimming and Diving Championships at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way, this coming Friday and Saturday (February 16-17).

Dear Silas Staff Members,

Leading the way for your Rams was Senior Albert Kopec who was the leading scorer in the game with 24 points. Also scoring in double figures were Sophomore Antione Vallarde-Larkins with 14 points and Sophomore MakHai Tolliver who knocked down 12 points.
The Rams finished the season with an overall record of 10 wins and 11 losses and a Pierce County League record of 5 wins and 7 losses. They finished 5th in the PCL. Unfortunately, missing qualifying for the District 3/4 Basketball Tournament by one game.

Dear Silas Staff Members,
State competition, district competition, and the wrap up of regular seasons are all in play in Silas Athletics this week.
Bowling and Cheer are competing for State Championships this weekend. Boys Swimming is competing for District Championships this weekend. Boys and Girls Wrestling are competing in Sub-Regionals on Friday and Saturday. Boys and Girls Basketball wrap their regular seasons this week. Flag Football wraps up next week. Here’s the latest in Silas Athletics:
Basketball – Boys:
Silas Boys Basketball played just one game this past week. They close out their regular season with games tonight and Friday.
Last Thursday, our Rams hosted the Lincoln Abes here at Harry Bird Memorial. They lost a tough one to the Abes 67 to 61. This game was close throughout with neither team holding more than a two or three point lead throughout the game. Leading the way for Silas was Senior Albert Kopec with 17 points and Sophomore MakHai Tolliver with 16 points.
With two games remaining in the Pierce County League, Silas is one game behind the 4th and final berth from the PCL to the West Central Districts. Currently, Lakes is the 4th place team. So the next two games are critical for our Rams.
The Rams advance to Districts if they win their remaining two games and Lakes loses both of their games. The teams would be tied if Silas wins one more game than Lakes does over these next two games. The first tiebreaker is the head to head regular season games against each other. The two teams split their two games against each other. The next tiebreaker is a point system the PCL uses, based on the final PCL standings. Most of the potential scenarios would have Silas and Lakes with the same number of points. If that happens, a game will be played between the two schools to determine 4th place in the PCL. Most likely at Foss High School early next week.
Here are the remaining games for both teams:

Dear Silas Staff Members,
A very busy week in Silas Athletics as most sports are winding down their regular seasons and aiming for post-season play. Here are the latest results and upcoming events.
Basketball – Boys:
Silas Boys Basketball played three games this past week, going 2-1. On Friday (1/19/24), the Rams went toe to toe with the Lakes Lancers, pulling out a 72 to 67 victory. Lakes led most of the 1st half and held a three point lead at halftime. Silas took control in the 3rd quarter, outscoring the Lancers by eight. The fourth quarter was a nail biter the entire way. Lakes held a one point lead with less than 2:00 on the clock. The Rams quickly converted two baskets and were money down the stretch from the free throw line to secure the victory. The Rams were led by Senior Albert Kopec and Junior Tyson Parker who each had 17 points.
On Saturday, January 20th, our Rams traveled to Snoqualmie played the Mt. Si Wildcats, losing to the Wildcats 79 to 39. Mt. Si is one of the strongest programs in the state. They were 4A Semi-Finalists in 2023 and finished 2nd in the state in 2022.
Yesterday (1-23-24) our Boys traveled to Spanaway Lake to take on the Sentinels. In another tight contest, our Rams prevailed 65 to 63. This was an important victory for the Rams as they compete to gain a berth in the West Central Districts Championships. They are currently tied with Lakes for the 4th and final seed from the Pierce County League into Districts. Each team has three remaining games left in league play:

Silas is Crowned 2023-2024 PCL League Bowling Champions!
Yesterday, (1/16/24), the Silas Bowling Team bowled in the PCL League Tournament at Bowlero Lanes. They bowled a total pin count of 3,141 pins, 12 pins better than Spanaway Lake (3,129). Ladies and gentlemen, It doesn’t get any closer than this. Compared to regular season play, the postseason play adds an additional game and two additional Baker games.
The Rams were on fire yesterday! Keira Frazier led the way bowling a three-game series of 636. She bowled three 200+ games. Outstanding! To put this performance in perspective, the leading bowler in the PWBA (Professional Women’s Bowling Association) is Jordan Richard. In 2023, she averaged 219.69 pins per game. Keira’s average yesterday was 212.0. Wow!
Given how tightly contested the Championship was, everyone had to be on their game yesterday. That is exactly what happened. A new game high was set by the team of 920 for game #2. This is over 200 pins from their season average of 711. Everyone bowled a game of at least 170. Aurora Garcia set a new personal high of 192 pins! Claire DeMoss rolled a 179 game, Taylor Waltier bowled a 178, and Ameris Hagen had a 170 game!

Swimming – Boys:
We have some catch up to do with swimming results. On December 14th, the Silas Boys Swim team swam against the Stadium Tigers. Because of the chaos of moving the location of the meet until the last second, getting scores from the meet became a challenge. We can now share that in a competitive match, our Rams lost to the Tigers 107 to 74.
Last Tuesday (1/2/24), the Rams swam against the Peninsula Seahawks here at Dick Hannula Pool. The Seahawks won the match 136 to 44. Silas was down seven swimmers for this match explaining the challenges the Rams faced. With that said, some outstanding performances were turned in by our Rams:
-
Xander Dumas took a 1st place finish in the 200 Yard Individual Medley in a time of 1:02.13. This is a district qualifying time!
-
The 200 Yard Medley Relay and 400 Freestyle Relay teams each posted District qualifying times.
-
Turner Jackson is a swimmer on a roll in the 500 Yard Freestyle. On Tuesday, he dropped 8 seconds off of his individual best time. He has dropped 14 seconds in the past two meets!
Our Rams next meet is today (1/4/2024) when they host they host the Mount Tahoma T-Birds. This meet is scheduled to start at 3:30 PM.
Wrestling – Girls:
Our Girls Wrestling team participated in two wrestling tournaments over the Winter Break. On Thursday 12/21 and Friday 12/22 they participated the Pacific Coast Invitational in Vancouver. This is one of the largest wrestling tournaments on the West Coast. Last Saturday (12/30/23) the Girls wrestled in the Christmas Break Invitational.
We are hoping to obtain results from each tourney in the very near future.

November 29th, 2023
The Winter sports season is now officially here with a number of our teams kicking off their season openers this week. Here’s the latest in Silas Athletics:
Basketball – Boys:
Tomorrow night (11/30/23), the Boys Basketball Team will start their season tomorrow night when they host the Foster Bulldogs here at Harry Bird Memorial Gymnasium. The C-Team game will tip at 4:00 PM, the JV game will tip at 5:45 PM, and the Varsity game will tip at 7:30 PM.
Basketball – Girls:
On Saturday (12/2/23), the Girls will travel to South Kitsap to take on the Wolves. The JV game will tip at 1:00 PM and the Varsity game will tip at 2;30 PM.
Bowling:
Bowling had two matches this past week. Last Tuesday (11/21/23) the Rams competed against the Spanaway Lake Sentinels at Paradise Bowl in Parkland. Despite having our highest team score of the year, our Rams lost to the Sentinels 1,993 to 1,744. Any team score above 1,700 is very good. A team score above 1,900 is outstanding. Spanaway Lake’s team score of 1,993 was going to be extremely difficult to beat.
Leading the way for the Rams was Claire DeMoss who rolled a 186 game and Taylor Waltier and Keira Frazier who each rolled games of 175.

Once a Ram, Always a Ram!
November 21st, 2023
Due to the short week this week, This Week in Silas Athletics is coming out a day early. This week is the calm before the majority of Winter Sports begin competition. Additionally, the majority of Fall Sports have announced their All-League Teams. Here is what’s happening with Rams Bowling, All-League selections, and a preview of what’s coming the Silas sports calendar. .
Bowling:
Bowling had two matches this past week. Last Wednesday (11/15/23) our Bowlers lost to the Gig Harbor Tides in a modified home match 855 to 705 at Tower Lanes. Leading the way for the Rams was Taylor Waltier and Claire DeMoss who bowled games of 162 and 156 respectfully.

Volleyball:
Last weekend, the Rams competed in the West Central District Volleyball Championships held at Mount Tahoma high School. Unfortunately for our Rams, they did not qualify to advance to the State Tournament.
On Friday (11/10/23 the Rams opened up playing the Mountain View Thunder, the #3 seed from the Greater St. Helen’s League. In a surprising outcome, the Thunder prevailed 3 sets to 1. This dropped the Rams into the Loser’s Bracket (winner advance/loser out) to take on the Kent Meridian Royals. The Rams won this match 3 sets to none.
On Saturday (11/11/23), they had another winner advance/loser out contest, this time against the Central Kitsap Cougars. In a highly competitive match, the Rams lost 3 sets to 2, thus ending their season.
The rams finished with an overall record of 14 wins and 5 losses and a Pierce County League Championship. Congratulation ladies on an outstanding season!

Football: Varsity & JV:
Last Thursday (11/2/23) Silas hosted the Rogers Rams at Lincoln Bowl. Wow, what a game! Your Silas Rams beat the Rogers Rams 33 to 25 at Lincoln Bowl. This game had a little bit of everything including a last second field goal attempt to decide the game. Rogers got out to an early lead 10-0 in the first half. But our Rams were resilient, closing the gap to 10 to 7 at halftime.
In the 3rd quarter, Roger's kicker Junior Dreeson extended the lead to 13-7 on a 42-yard field goal. Then the fireworks started. On the kickoff, Silas’s Evan White returned the kickoff 99 yards to put Silas up 14-13. Later in the quarter, Silas extended the lead to 21-13, putting together a long drive led primarily by the running of Quarterback Carsyn Stolz. Rogers added a safety when Silas hiked the bag through the end zone to make the score 21-15.
With roughly 4:00 left in the game, Rogers got on the board again to retake the lead 22-21. Later in the quarter they tacked on another field goal (40 yards out) to add to Roger's lead 25-21. Silas got the ball back with 1:48 on the clock. They smartly moved the ball downfield led by long runs from Carsyn Stolz and Majesty Lui. Majesty's run was for 42 yards taking the ball down to the Roger's 4-yard line. Unfortunately, Silas incurred a dead ball penalty (sideline infraction) which moved the ball back to the Roger's 19-yard line. On the next play. Carsyn Stolz kept the ball and ran 19 yards to score a touchdown with 0:42 left in the game. Silas mishandled the extra point making the score 27-25 in favor of Silas.
Here's some background on Roger's kicker Junior Dreeson to provide some context to the final 0:42 of the game. Dreeson is an extremely talented placekicker. For context, every kickoff he had, with the exception of the kickoff that Evan White, went into the endzone for a touchback. He made a 52-yard field goal earlier in the game, which got nullified because of a penalty. He is being heavily recruited by many colleges. By far, the best high school placekicker we have ever seen.
Rogers gets the ball back and moves the ball down to the Silas 43-yardline. With 4 seconds left in the game, Rogers sends out Dreeson to attempt a 60-yard field goal to win the game (yes, I said that right, a 60-yard field goal, unheard of at the high school level. For comparison, the all-time record in the NFL is 66-yards, the UW record is 56-yards). Dreeson missed the field goal, but Silas roughed the kicker, giving Rogers new life and a much closer attempt (45 yards) that was well within Dresson's length. The field goal was blocked and scooped up by Carter Hodge, returning the blocked kick for a touchdown.
Wow!
Silas finished their Football season with a record 1-9.
Swimming (Girls):
Our Girls Swim Team will participate in the 2023 WIAA Swimming and Diving Championships next Friday and Saturday at the King County Aquatic Center.

The post-season for Cross Country begins on Saturday (10-21-23) as the Boys and Girls teams will compete in the PCL League Championship at Fort Steilacoom Park. The Boys race is scheduled to start at 9:45 AM with the Girls race starting at 10:45 AM. This event will determine teams and individual runners that will qualify for the West Central District Championships at Chambers Bay on 10/28/2023.
Football: Varsity & JV:
Last Thursday (10-12-23), our Rams traveled to Lincoln Bowl to take on the Lincoln Abes. The Abes were victorious 55 to 13. Lincoln has been a perennial power in football over the past few years and they showed that last Thursday.
This coming Friday (10/20/23) Silas (0-7. 0-4 in PCL play) will host to the league leading Mount Tahoma T-Birds (4-3, 4-0 in the PCL) at Stadium Bowl. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 PM.
The Silas JV team hosted the Lincoln Abes last Monday (10-16-23) here at Silas High School. In a very competitive game, the Abes took the victory 14 to 7. Next Monday, the JV team (4-2-1) will travel to Mount Tahoma to take on the T-Birds at Mount Tahoma Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 PM.
Golf (Boys & Girls):
The Rams Golf teams have entered into post-season play. The Rams are finishing Round Two of the PCL Golf Championships today at Lake Spanaway Golf Course. This is a 36-hole stroke play tournament that will determine teams and individuals qualifying to play in the West Central Golf State Qualifying Tournament.
After Day 1 of the Girls Tournament, Silas was leading rather comfortably though we don’t have the exact stroke lead available. Day 1 of the Boys Tournament, Silas is in 2nd place, nine strokes behind Bonney Lake. This is a small lead and one that the Rams with a good day today can overcome.
As mentioned last week, Golf is unique in that league play occurs in the Fall and post-season play (Districts & State) in the Spring. After the PCL Tournament, The Girls West Central District Qualifying Tournament will be at Auburn Golf Course (May 13 & 14, 2024). The Boys West Central District Qualifying Tournament will be at Auburn Golf Course (May 15 & May 16, 2024).
Soccer (Girls):
The Girls Soccer team went 2-0 this past week. On Thursday, they beat the Spanaway Lake Sentinels 4 to 1 at Spanaway Lake. Last night, they beat the Lincoln Abes 8 to 0 here at Silas High School.
In the RPI rankings for 3A Girls Soccer, Silas is listed 33rd in the State in 3A Girls Soccer. They moved up five spots in the RPI rankings this week. They currently sit in 3rd place in the PCL. Here are the current standings:

On Saturday, October 21st the Pierce County League Diving Championships will be conducted at Rogers High School. Start time of competition has not been announced yet.
Tennis (Boys):
The regular season for Boys Tennis completed this past week. Silas is your Pierce County League Champions for the 2023 season! They completed their regular season play with an 11 -1 record.
This past week the Rams played three matches to close out the regular season.
Last Thursday (10/12/23) afternoon, Silas suffered its first loss of the season to the Mount Tahoma T-Birds 3 matches to 2 at Mount Tahoma High School. In singles play, both Brady Acklin and Nathan Shouse won their matches and continue their undefeated seasons. Unfortunately, all three of our double’s teams lost. Silas came oh so close to pulling out the victory. The #3 Doubles team of Jayce Hartman and Andrew Tatlonghari almost pulled out the victory losing 7 to 5 in the third set of their match.
Silas swept their matches against Bonney Lake (10/13/23 here at Silas) and Lincoln (10/16/23 @ University of Puget Sound) 5 sets to none. Don’t be fooled by the score against Lincoln. It was a very competitive match.
The Rams next tennis action is this coming Thursday and Friday, October 19th and 20th when they compete in the Pierce County League Championships. The league championship is being played at Mount Tahoma High School. This Championship will determine advancement to the West Central District Tennis Championships to be held at the Boeing Employees Tennis Center (Kent) October 27th and 28th.

On Wednesday (10-25-23) the Rams will play the Rogers Rams also at the Rogers High School Pool. This match will start at 7:30 PM.
Volleyball:
Our Rams are on a roll. In their last three matches, they have defeated Top-Twenty teams in the state, two of those teams in the past week. Last Thursday (10-12-23) our Rams defeated the #14 team in the State (Lakes Lancers) 3 sets to 2 here at Harry Bird Memorial.
This was an extremely tough match highlighted by one of the craziest sets of Volleyball ever. The Rams won the first set by an incredible score of 39 to 37. In order to win a set (first four sets), the first team to 25 and leading by 2 or more wins the set. Both the Lancers and Rams had their opportunities to close out the set earlier, but it took 14 extra points for Silas to finally get up by two to win the set. Here are the scores of each set:
|
Set #1 |
Silas 39 |

Give Lakes credit, they were down two sets only to win the next two to force a fifth and final set. In the fifth set, Silas got out to a fast start (5 to 0) and finished the set strong to close out the match.
Last night, the Rams beat the #19 team in the State, the Spanaway Lake Sentinels , 3 sets to 1 at Spanaway Lake.
Our JV team continues its winning ways. This past week they went 2-0. Last Thursday, they beat the Lakes Lancers 2 sets to 1. Last night, they beat the Spanaway Lake Sentinels 3 sets to 0.

We have three teams who remain undefeated this season. The Boys Tennis Team is a remarkable 9 -0 this year. They have won the PCL Championship the last four years and are the odds on favorite to win their fifth straight title. The Boys and Girls Golf teams are 5-0 this season. Stadium has been the long standing champions in golf. Our Rams have changed all of that this season. Our Girls finished 9th in State last year and look to build on that success this year. This year’s team is stronger and truly have the talent to advance very far this year. Our Boys are also very talented and are poised to make a deep run towards league and post-season championships. Here’s the latest:
Cross Country (Boys & Girls): This past week, Silas Cross Country ran in two meets. Last Wednesday (10-4-23), the Boys and Girls Cross Country teams ran in a combined SPSL 2A/PCL 3A 8-team race at Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood.
In the Varsity 5,000 meters, the Silas Boys took 4th place with a team score of 79 points, led by Evan Sanderford who finished in 7th place. Lakes finished first, with a team score of 34 (Top five runners; place finished is added up; combined lowest score wins). The Boys had four runners who finished in the top 17 runners in this race, a very solid outcome.
In the Girls 5,000 meters (combined Varsity and JV race), Silas finished in 4th place with a team score of 128 points. Lakes took first with a team score of 26. Leading the way for Silas was Vaida Smith who finished in 9th place.

Football: Last Friday (10-6-23), our Rams played the Spanaway Lake Sentinels at Lincoln Bowl in our Homecoming game. Spanaway Lake beat the Rams 27 to 0. Silas has struggled to score this season and the game last Friday was no exception. Physically, the Rams are holding their own and game was closer than the score indicates.
This coming Thursday, October 12, 2023, Silas (0-6. 0-3 in PCL play) will travel to Lincoln Bowl to take on the Abes (3-3, 2-1 in PCL play).
The Silas JV team traveled to Spanaway Lake to take on the Sentinels last Monday (10-9-23) at Spanaway Lake High School. The Rams suffered their first loss of the season 22 to 13. Next Monday, the JV team (4-1-1) will host the Lincoln Abes here at Silas High School. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:00 PM.
Golf (Boys & Girls): The Rams Golf teams had two matches this past week. Last Thursday (10-5-23) our Ram golfers took on the Lincoln Abes at Meadow Park Golf Course. Both the Boys and Girls won their matches.
The Boys defeated the Abes 63 to 22. Leading the way for the Rams was Jake Kennedy who carded an outstanding round of 37 (2 over par) and scored 16 points towards the team score. Also breaking 40 was Andy Schilling , who shot a round of 39 and scored 14 points for the Rams.
The Girls defeated Lincoln 148 to 36. The Rams were led by Ellen Follen who shot a superb 2 over par score of 37. She tallied 34 points towards the team score. Also having an excellent round was Opal Morton-Herrmann who shot an excellent round of 39, contributing 32 points towards the team score.
On Tuesday (10-10-2023), our golf teams hosted the T-Birds of Mount Tahoma at Allenmore Golf Course. The Rams won both the Girls and Boys matches.
The Girls defeated the T-Birds 138 to 18. Mount Tahoma had two golfers. More importantly, the Rams continue their great play. Silas was led by the outstanding play of Kenley Taylor (shooting a round of 40) and Ella Follen (who shot 41).
The Boys defeated Mount Tahoma 72 to 36. This is the best team score the Rams have posted all year! The Rams were led by Aidan Joseph who shot a fantastic round of 36 (even par), posting the best score by any Ram this year!

Silas beat the Panthers 116 to 64. Highlights of this meet include Alexis Esser dropping 3.2 seconds off of her time in the 200 Yard Freestyle, swimming in a time of 2:06.8, a superlative effort!

Six swimmers garnered personal best times in their events, led by Freshmen Della Young and Isla Conklin who had significant drops in their personal records.

On Saturday, October 21st the Pierce County League Diving Championships will be conducted at Rogers high School. Start time of competition has not been announced yet.
Tennis (Boys): Our Boys Tennis Team continues its undefeated season with two matches this past week.

On Thursday, October 6th, the Rams beat the Spanaway Lake Sentinels 5 sets to none at Spanaway Lake High School.
The Rams (9-0 ) next match was scheduled for later today when they travel to Mount Tahoma to take on the T-Birds. That match got cancelled due to weather. On Friday, October 13th, the Rams will host the Bonney Lake Panthers here at Silas High School. That match will start at 3:30 PM.

Last night, the Rams beat the #8 team in the State, the Peninsula Seahawks, 3 sets to 2. This was a battle that went back and forth all night. The first three sets were hotly contested. Silas won the first set 25 to 21. Peninsula won the 2nd set by an identical score of 25 to 21 and won the 3rd set 25 to 23. Then Silas found another gear. They won the 4th set 25 to 14 to tie the match at 2 sets apiece. In the 5th and final set, Silas won 15 to 7 to win the match 3 sets to 2. In the last two sets, the Rams outscored the Seahawks 40 to 21.

Both the Boys and Girls Cross Country’s next meet is later today (10-4-23) when they run at Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood in a combined 2A SPSL/3A PCL race. Racing begins at 3:30 PM.
Football: Last Friday (9-29-23), our Rams traveled to Lakewood to take on the Lakes Lancers. Lakes prevailed 42 to 0. Lakes is a perennial powerhouse each and every year and they demonstrated that in Friday night’s game. This year’s Lancers are in the thick of a PCL championship run and will undoubtably be in the state playoffs again this year.
This coming Friday, October 6, 2023, Silas (0-5) will host the Spanaway Lake Sentinels (1-4).. This is Silas’s Homecoming game that will be played at Lincoln Bowl. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 PM.
The Silas JV team hosted the Lakes Lancers at Bob Lucey Field at Curtis High School last Monday (10-2-23). The Rams and Lancers ended up in a 20 -20 tie. The JV team has had a great season so far and securing a tie against a perennial power like Lakes adds to their growing successful season. Next Monday, the JV team (4-0-1) will travel to Spanaway Lake to take on the Sentinels. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:00 PM.
Golf (Boys & Girls): Our Ram golfers had two matches this past week.
Last Thursday (9-28-23) at the Oakbrook Golf Course in Lakewood, our Rams took on the Lakes Lancers. Both the Boys and Girls won their matches. Both teams have a 2-0 record in PCL League play.
The Boys defeated the Lancers 60 to 39. Leading the way for the Rams was Andy Schilling and Jake Kennedy, each carding an excellent score of 39 (3 over par). Each earned 15 points towards the team score. Also having a very solid round was Aidan Joseph who shot a 41 (5 over par). To put this result in perspective, Jake is Silas’ #5 golfer on the team. The Boys have a very strong team!
The Girls defeated Lakes 143 to 5. Lakes only had one golfer competing for them, explaining their low team score. More importantly, Silas’ team score was one point less than their record setting score of 144 of last week. The Rams were led by Freshman Opal Morton-Herrmann who shot a 4 over par score of 40. She tallied 32 points towards the team score. Also having excellent rounds were Ellen Follen and Kenley Taylor who each earned 30 team points by shooting rounds of 42. The Girls also have a very strong team!
On Monday, our golf teams hosted the Spanaway Lake Sentinels at Allenmore Golf Course. The Rams defeated the Sentinels in both matches. The Girls won their match 144 to 37. Kenley Taylor led the Rams with an awesome round of 39 (2 over par), scoring 34 points towards the team score. The Boys defeated Spanaway Lake 67 to 38. Andy Schilling continued his great play by posting a 38 (2 over par).
